Needs more Kore-eda
I'd probably go 'Throne of Blood' but I'm criminally behind on my Kobayash, Mizoguchi and Naruse.

Was going more for "The Golden Age" here. Kore-eda definitely gets a lot of love, might be time to give him a full rate and rank thread. We all have our gaps. Throne of Blood is probably the single biggest glaring omission in my viewing, foreign or otherwise. I've seen about 15 Kurosawa's but for some reason I seem to have skipped this very key film.

Kenji Mizoguchi - Sansho the Bailiff
Yasujiro Ozu - Tokyo Story
Mikio Naruse - When a Woman Ascends the Stairs (the only one I've seen unfortunately)
Akira Kurosawa - Ran
Masaki Kobayashi - Kwaidan (my overall favourite from these 5)

Kenji Mizoguchi - Sansho the Bailiff although your pick of Life of Oharu is right behind. Both brilliant.
Yasujiro Ozu - Tokyo Story **it may be the obvious choice, but for me it is undeniable and one of the two or so greatest films I have ever seen
Mikio Naruse - When a Woman Ascends the Stairs **I have only seen two of his films...
Akira Kurosawa - High and Low
Masaki Kobayashi - Harakiri **Part I of the Human Condition trilogy is magnificent but, truth be told, I found diminishing returns with the second and third instillments, which began to feel somewhat repetitive. Still a great achievement, but Harakiri means more to me.

Still a great achievement, but Harakiri means more to me. It does slump a little in Part 2, but I like Part 3 as much as the first and think it's such a grand achievement overall. Hara-kiri and Kwaidan are both brillinat as well and it was a very tough pick.
